  2. Rapid Re-employment & Training Service Concept The Opportunity for Change: • Effective labour adjustment programs and services are vital elements to ensure that Ontario workers remain relevant and competitive in a rapidly changing employment environment. • In the Fall the Ontario Government provided new funding under the Economic Stimulus Package for services and programs to help job-threatened and laid off workers find new jobs • With its expanded menu of programs and services the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) has an opportunity to expand and enhance its assistance to companies, workers and communities affected by layoffs and downsizing. • Building on the Adjustment Advisory Program (AAP), the Rapid Re-employment and Training Service strategy (RRTS) will include several new and enhanced practices to quickly provide effective programs and services to affected workers and communities.

  3. Rapid Re-employment & Training Service: The Vision • Proactively respond to labour adjustment situations affected by layoffs, plant closures or job threatened across the province • Deploy Rapid Response Teams to provide timely, focused and integrated training and employment solutions to affected workers and communities • Play a leadership role in coordinating a multi-ministry response to provide the full array of adjustment services and interventions to assist affected workers and communities • Identify inter-ministerial partnerships to leverage resources and expertise to enhance the value and effectiveness of the Ontario response • Enable the rapid access to adjustment services and training funds • Identify appropriate service providers in the community and address any service gaps Ministry of Training, Colleges and UniversitiesRapid Re-employment and Training Service

  4. Rapid Re-employment and Training Service: Service Promise Rapid Re-employment and Training Service (RRTS) establishes a number of targeted service commitments, including: • A government response within one hour of a public announcement of a major closure or downsizing with outreach to the affected communities • Development of individual service action plans for affected workers, including a training plan where appropriate, will be ready within 15 days of initial assessment • Response team will report back within 30 days Ministry of Training, Colleges and UniversitiesRapid Re-employment and Training Service

Rapid Response Team: Responsibilities • MTCU assembles/contacts Rapid Response Team members in response to emerging or active adjustment situations • The scope of services will be available in all adjustment situations, however the intensity of the intervention will depend on a number of factors including the number of lay-offs and the community impact • Identify the needs of affected workers and the resources required • Develop a Service Action Plan including: • Identifying the range of Ontario government services available • Identifying potential training service providers in a community • Identifying adjustment “gaps” and developing action plans • Monitor and implement the Service Action Plan Ministry of Training, Colleges and UniversitiesRapid Re-employment and Training Service
